Tell me not in mournful numbers,
Life is nothing but an empty dream,
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem,

Not enjoyment and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or a way,
But each tomorrow,
Find us farther than today,

Don’t let go seconds of life,
Be the heart, be brave,
Be a conqueror in strife,
Let the life march itself to the funeral grave,

Trust no future, however pleasant,
Let the death past bury its dead,
Live in the continuing present,
Heart within you and god overhead,

And while departing from here,
Leave the foot prints on the sands of time,
Let others follow till the end there,
We can make our lives sublime,

Let us then be up and doing,
With a heart ready for any fate,
Still achieving and still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait..!!!
